I'm about to launch my Fiat currency, the Hopp franc.
When I say Fiat, I mean it will be secured against my Fiat, Milton.

2p a litre of petrol for their own people sounds good, shame they didn't suss the long term consequences though.
Apparently, the price of oil goes up AND down. Who knew?! | | | |

Have Lockhead Martin diversified into food production?
The US having structured its whole economy around the need for war ever since it got itself out of a pickle in the 30s by that nice German fellow seeking to run amok, isn't going to let up now. Not with Armageddon just around the corner and a QPR early exit from the FA Cup on the horizon as well. |  |

Isn't all currency virtual anyway?
There was an old Spike Milligan 'Q' sketch where Milligan uses a photo of currency instead of currency, the obvious point being that notes and phots are as unreal and as worthless as each other. The rest is just convention. |  |

Metal coins were used for perhaps a millennium during the bronze age in the way that paper money is used now, as receipts that were ultimately redeemable against grain in stores around the eastern Mediterranean. Only after the collapse of the bronze age did the idea emerge of coins having the value of their constituent metal.
When push comes to shove gold doesn't have much more value than paper; no-one looks at a pound coin and thinks "If I melted ten of those down I could make a spoon".

Local churches have been sending aid parcels down there for 12/18 months now. I've contributed but a little reluctantly, think it may be better for them to sort things out quickly, even if it's painful. | |

Triumph Acclaim in German was Sieg Heil - didn't sell very well over there for some strange reason.
TR6 was good.
Not many got sold in Venezuela. | |

Triumph Acclaim as a translation of 'Sieg Heil'? Better than any I've heard before. 
But you must be Caracas: please don't nationalise my socialism. | |

According to the film Gregory's Girl, there are 8 women to every man in Caracas. | | | |

As Caracas is the most violent city in the world I think those women should be left well alone. [Post edited 4 Dec 2017 22:45]

I know someone in San Fernando De Apure. She said the petrol is dirt cheap but you have to queue 3 hours to get it.
She'd rather they taxed it more for income. |  |
